“Music is spirit to me … writing songs is a cathartic experience. The songs come out randomly as if I need to liberate them. They write themselves.” - Natále

An independent genre-defying singer/songwriter who delivers her powerfully visceral songs with a soulful, vintage voice influenced by blues, pop, reggae, and 70s folk rock, Natále provides a unique sonic palette for her listeners to get lost in and find their own. 

Natále began her career in 2019, a few months prior to the pandemic, releasing her debut single, Day to Night (featuring Patti LaBelle’s trumpet player Matt Cappy) in tandem with a self-directed/produced music video. Six months later, she released her first EP, Giving All to You, mastered by Grammy winning engineer Adam Ayan of Bob Ludwig’s Mastering studios (known for their work with The Rolling Stones, Beyoncé, Madonna, U2, Taylor Swift) while writing new songs during lockdown on a farm in New Hampshire’s white mountains. A year later, after purchasing a forty-foot school bus and traveling the country passing out CDs to radio stations, Natále flew to México City to record her next single, a Spanish reggae song, Moreno, with the help of Latin Grammy nominated legend, Fidel Nadal (Todos Tus Muertos). The two worked closely together, co-producing and writing in Camilo Lara’s recording studio (Mexican Institute of Sound), and released Moreno in 2021, expanding and growing her audiences to Latin America.

Inspired by the vibrant culture and artist community, Natále decided to stay in México, where she has been living for the past two and a half years, engaging with local musicians and exchanging ideas. In February 2022, she recorded her latest single, Do You Believe It?, with members of the Mexican reggae band Antidoping, and received support and guidance from the legendary two-time Grammy winning engineer Errol Brown (Bob Marley & The Wailers, Ziggy Marley, Steel Pulse, Shaggy). 

Currently, Natále is focusing on songwriting and recording, for her upcoming album release - including a collaboration with Grammy winning producer, Austen Jux-Chandler (Adele, Kali Uchis, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga) - while also writing for TV and film, including the number one hit Netflix series in Colombia - “La Primera Vez” (listen here) and a feature film to be released in theaters in México this November.

Natále continues to perform live with her band, playing festivals alongside legendary artists such as The Jacksons, The Gipsy Kings, UB40, The Village People, and Buena Vista All Stars.

In addition to her own artistic development, Natále has created and fostered a community arts project in her living room - En La Sala - showcasing independent Latino and international artists (including Bonobo) which has reached thousands of in-person listeners and supported over 60 artists.


“Natále empowers listeners to be confident. We need that positivity in our lives.”

— LEFUTUREWAVE, music blog

“A voice (and delivery) from another world. A passion only the greatest of artists possess. We need the beauty her art represents.”

— Russ Kelly, fan

“Ver a Natále en el escenario ha sido de las experiencias musicales más únicas y conmovedoras que he presenciado. Natále no es solo una cantante sino una auténtica performer y artista que desde el minuto en el que sube al escenario uno se puede percatar del hecho que Natále nació por y para cantar, bailar, mover e impresionar a su público. Como pocos artistas, Natále además de interactuar con su espectador, lo vuelve parte del espectáculo, motivándolo e incluso retándolo a salir de su zona de confort para verdaderamente soltar, dejar ir, y poder cantar y bailar desde el alma. Para mi, presenciar el espectáculo de Natále fue un gran privilegio, fue tan emotivo y apasionante que me sentí en un tipo de “high” en donde pude bailar y cantar sin que me importara nada más. Puedo decir con seguridad que pocos artistas tienen este efecto en su público, y eso es lo que hace a esta artista una tan inigualable.”

“Musically, the EP has a huge Motown influence. Her voice evokes singers like Brittany Howard from Alabama Shakes and Rachael Price from Lake Street Dive.”

— Rob Duguay, The Providence Journal

“The message in her music mimics the positivity she's trying to spread in her deep, bluesy voice that has been compared with Amy Winehouse.”

— Beth McEvoy, NBC Maine

“Natále is a remarkable and singular multimedia artist and performer. Her work, as a performer, composer and director, shows extraordinary range and breadth. She's a multi-lingual, multi-genre, and a multi-talented renaissance figure and I have no idea what she will come up with next…She contains multitudes.”

— Daniel McGuire, director of BALIAN (The Healer)
